Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

Xuanyin Xingjun was very dissatisfied. She asked Chu Wuji subtly:

"We're not really going to be prisoners, are we?"

Chu Wuji looked at Fu Guanyin's expression and it seemed that she really had such intentions. He had no choice but to comfort the big dragon girl in advance:

"Even if it really comes to that, we'll just pretend to be arrested. This is called playing hard to get..."

As we were about to enter the city, we saw a group of skinny monks resting near the city gate.

Chu Wuji had a preconceived prejudice against monks, so he suppressed his temper and planned to ignore them and just pass by.

One of the monks took the initiative to speak, and he made a standing gesture:

"Donor, please don't stay in the city for too long, as something unexpected might happen."

Chu Wuji paused and slowly turned around, his hat obscuring his expression and eyes:

"I'm afraid something unexpected will happen... Monk, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to scare me into spending money to ward off disaster, or is there something else?"

The monk's skin was dark with a hint of red, a sign of being exposed to the wind and sun, and he was also sunburned.

His companions were all like this, thin with sunken cheeks, drooping brows, and a compassionate look on their faces, with bright eyes and a look of energy.

Their physical condition and mental outlook are completely different.

More importantly, these monks have no spiritual cultivation.

The monk who had spoken to me earlier sensed Chu Wuji's implicit hostility and replied calmly:

"I am a humble monk, a Buddhist monk, who came from the Great Compassion Temple. I was traveling with my fellow disciples to beg for alms and happened to arrive at the capital of the Sun and Moon Kingdom. I sensed a bad omen here, so I took the liberty to disturb you and give you a heads-up.

Donor, you may listen or not, I have no intention of seeking wealth."

Chu Wuji looked at the group of people again. Their clothes were ragged and full of patches. The best clothes they had were actually windproof cloaks.

He indeed didn't see any spiritual energy from these people, so how could he sense an ominous sign?

"May I ask Xing Tou Tuo, what exactly is this bad omen?"

"I don't know, and I dare not lie."

"Then why don't you go into the city to warn people? Why are you staying here?"

"We've already alerted the soldiers. The reason we're staying here is to warn more passersby. We'll leave after a while."

Chu Wuji was a little surprised. The monks he had met before were like cancer. Wherever they went, they were either asking for money or plotting to take over other people's land.

He had just prepared himself mentally to watch the performance of this group of monks, and was curious about what excuse they planned to use to enter the Sun and Moon Kingdom, but he didn't expect that they were going to leave.

Rare...

Suddenly, a soldier's announcement came from inside the city gate: "The Grand Master has arrived!"

“......?” Chu Wuzhi was stunned.

Chapter 309 Ominous Omen

At this moment, Chu Wuji really wanted to ask, was the bad omen that the monk just mentioned referring to this matter...?

No wonder he advised me to leave. It turned out that the white peacock was about to appear!

Chu Wuji turned his head to look at Fu Guanyin. Her face was wrapped in a headscarf, and a few strands of beautiful golden hair floated out, swaying in the wind.

Her beautiful blue eyes were also filled with astonishment. After all the previous plans, was this the way they were supposed to meet? And the white peacock had actually appeared right in front of them. Even visiting relatives and friends didn't give them such a "coincidental" welcome.

Chu Wuji asked softly, "Do you want to retreat? Stay away for a while?"

Fu Guanyin quickly considered Chu Wuji's proposal, but she finally shook her head, her gentle voice filled with strong will:

"Although this wasn't part of the plan, I'm here to face it. How can I retreat at this critical moment? If I turn around and leave now, I'll have to wander around with Master Chu, trying to figure out all sorts of solutions.

Perhaps it was God's will that I should meet the white peacock sooner rather than later."

Xuanyin Xingjun was surprised by this situation, but she remained calm:

"If we meet suddenly, it's the other person who should be afraid."

The Sky Fox Lady chuckled, "Ask White Peacock in person if he wants to have a drink and reminisce about the past."

Chu Wuji didn't say anything more. The worst that could happen was a sudden fight or conflict. That was the worst that could happen.

He also agreed with what Fu Guanyin said. He had previously planned so many methods of "flooding the rat hole" and "falling into a trap", which had all caused some trouble. Now that God had brought it directly to him, retreating would be like asking for trouble and wasting time.

At the city gate, the groups of merchants and common people retreated to the roadside. Some of the carriages and horses of the minor nobles who were out for fun had to move to the roadside and bow their heads in greeting.

A team of soldiers wearing light armor and holding spears trotted out in an orderly manner, waiting on both sides of the avenue to clear the way.

"Who is spreading the word that the royal city is in trouble?"

A woman's voice came, not containing anger, but with the momentum of a stern rebuke.

Then, an elegant and graceful woman with purple hair strode out. Under the long robe of the imperial teacher, which showed her nobleness, a pair of long legs with graceful curves crossed each other. Her beautiful legs were wrapped in lavender stockings, and her thighs were woven with lace patterns of peacock feathers.

The edge of the stockings was fixed with rose gold metal leg rings, which made the soft and smooth skin slightly concave and full of elasticity and tension.

The white peacock's purple eyes first swept across the group of monks, but his gaze was locked on Chu Wuji and the woman beside him.

This noble and beautiful imperial teacher had never seen Chu Wuji before, but even though he was just standing there in low-key and simple clothes, he had an indescribable aura.

After regaining consciousness, he realized that he was still carrying a large, eye-catching blade. To some perceptive people, his presence was even more striking, far more conspicuous than the blade at his waist.

As for the woman wrapped tightly in a headscarf, even though her white fox tail was very deceptive, the white peacock recognized her beautiful and deep eyes.

Even the Black Water Pearl recognized her and sensed the aura of the Holy Fire Pearl.

After a brief moment of surprise, the white peacock regained his composure. He showed no hostility and did not ask the soldiers to attack and arrest him.

She walked to the side of Fu Guanyin and said:

"Guanyin slave, I have come all the way here. Please go have a cup of tea while I ask these monks a few questions."

This "slave" does not mean a prisoner or a slave, but is more of a term of endearment used by elders to address younger generations, similar to "little girl" or "little raccoon slave".

The name Guanyin Slave was the nickname given to Fu Guanyin by the lecturers and others in the Water and Fire Sect. She was still young at the time and her status was almost like that of a little princess in the Water and Fire Sect.

Fu Guanyin hadn't heard this name in years. She thought of it absentmindedly for a moment, then sighed softly. The people of Sun and Moon looked at Fu Guanyin and Chu Wuji curiously, wondering how they could possibly have the Grand Master of the Imperial Preceptor approach them.

White Peacock calmed down the turmoil in her heart for the time being. She looked at the monk and reiterated her previous question.

Xing Toudao's answer was the same as before:

"I don't know, I dare not lie. I happened to pass by this place, and I felt uneasy here. My movements of pinching the Buddhist beads became disordered."

The skinny monk was subconsciously pinching the Buddhist beads in his hands. The beads were made of ordinary wood with rough workmanship, as if they were clumsily carved with a carving knife by someone who was not good at carpentry. Because the monk pinched them so many times, they were barely shiny.

The rhythm of his pinching the Buddhist beads would occasionally become disordered, and he would suddenly stop. After reacting, he would resume pinching the beads.

In common understanding, the action of pinching Buddhist beads is almost instinctive and is not deliberately controlled. If the rhythm is disrupted, it is either a sign of a problem in the state of mind or a foreshadowing of something.

The dignified woman with purple hair glanced at the other monks. They were mostly the same.

"Do you have any further thoughts about this uneasiness? What's the approximate time, location, and type of disaster?"

"My cultivation is shallow, and I cannot respond with anger, but the omen is still there." The thin monk lowered his head apologetically.

The white peacock thought briefly and asked again:

"Monks, do you have any requests?"

"I have nothing to ask for. If you are willing, I hope you can give me some simple food and drink."

"Give you money to go into the city and buy it yourself?"

"I hope you will understand that we are traveling, and the Great Compassion Temple has its rules and does not accept money."

Chu Wuji was still wondering about Bai Kongque's patience with these monks, but as he listened, he realized it was a test.

As the imperial teacher of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, she must know the ways of those Buddhist monks, so the questions she asked just now were all to test the thoughts of this group of monks.

Confirm whether they have the intention of using the disaster as an excuse to make alarmist remarks and go into the city to seek the development and establishment of a temple. Also confirm their views on charity and see if they have the intention of making money.

After asking a few questions, White Peacock found that they seemed to be just there to give him a reminder.

She instructed her subordinates to go and buy a basket of white flour cakes.

After begging for alms, several monks from Dabei Temple chanted scriptures and prayed for the Sun and Moon Kingdom, then left and walked into the windy and sandy desert.

Their thin figures quickly turned into a long line and disappeared behind the sand dunes. When the yellow wind blew, the footprints they left on the sand disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

Xuanyin Xingjun didn't pay much attention to the monk. Instead, she paid attention to the reaction of the purple-haired national teacher and said:

"It seems that this woman vaguely knows the source of the disaster."

Chu Wuzhi's focus was the opposite of hers. He was more focused on these beggar-like monks. He didn't expect that these monks would really leave like that!

He had been waiting for the monks to change the subject and ask to move into the capital, build a temple, and help suppress the ominous signs. He could always find an excuse anyway.

Rare.

Bai Kongque dismissed her subordinates. She had no intention of paying any attention to these monks. Normally at this time, she would have finished the affairs of the Sun and Moon Kingdom and was moving towards the underground altar. She happened to hear the soldier's report and came over to take a look.

I didn't expect to meet Fu Guanyin unexpectedly.

She turned around, and before heading back to the capital, she turned her face slightly to the side and said to Fu Guanyin:

"Guanyin slave, if you are not afraid of an ambush, then come with me and have some tea after a long absence. After all, you came here in person just to stand in front of me and chat about some old times, right?"

Fu Guanyin took off her headscarf, revealing her pretty face. She shook her head gently, letting her shiny golden hair spread out. She gazed at the "passionate" back of the white peacock.

This meeting was so sudden that even the expected confrontation and friction did not occur. Instead, they went straight into a conversation.

The blonde glanced at Chu Wuji next to her, feeling more at ease. She responded:

"Thank you for your hospitality."

The remnants of the Divine Water Sect and the Holy Fire Faction must have had armed conflicts over the years, especially in the first few years after the Water and Fire Sect split. Even if the White Peacock did not deliberately target them, the main members of the Holy Fire Faction were on the wanted list.

The soldiers and nobles only then recognized Fu Guanyin and subconsciously tightened their grip on their weapons.

"Is this the saintly lady from the remnants of the Water and Fire Sect?!"

They did not receive clear instructions from the national teacher, but they suspected that the national teacher wanted to catch Fu Guanyin in a trap and immediately block the city gates as soon as she entered the royal capital, making it impossible for her to escape.

Just as they were about to make a move, the man in the conical hat passed by slowly. Under the shadow of the hat, his eyes were filled with a cold light, like a beast staring at its prey.

It's actually a beast eye? !

The soldiers and nobles felt their hearts tighten, as if facing a powerful enemy, and they took a few steps back.

Chu Wuji didn't say anything, just passed by and strolled behind Fu Guanyin. The broad blade blocked the blonde girl's figure, preventing the soldiers from staring at her.

After the two outsiders followed the female imperial teacher away, the people near the city gate felt relieved.

Only then did they notice that the marble floor had cracked a finger-wide crack where Chu Wuzhi had just walked in front of them, and the crack extended to their front.

But after Chu Wuzhi walked away, these heavy footprints disappeared, and even the sand could not retain his traces.

"How did you manage to leave such shallow footprints even with such a heavy weapon on your back?"

Someone murmured in surprise, and the others also realized this and began to worry about the national teacher.

"Will the Saint Lady, with this kind of person here, suddenly start a fight and harm the Imperial Master?"

PS: I recently saw the Zigong Lantern Festival, and there was a white snake and a green snake, which I thought was pretty good.

Both the AI ​​renderings and the real scenes of night lights are beautiful.

Chapter 310: Fantasy Kindness

The capital of the Sun and Moon Kingdom is divided into east and west. One side is the aristocratic area. The elegance of the streets is completely different from that outside, and it is also much quieter.

Walking all the way from the gate of the royal capital to the royal palace, servants working outside in the noble mansions on both sides of the road would stop to salute the national teacher.

When Chu Wuji saw these situations, he intuitively felt the huge differences between the two factions after the split of the Water and Fire Sect.

I can somewhat understand Fu Guanyin's loss.

This cannot be blamed on Fu Guanyin. She was not in charge back then and was too young to do anything. By the time she had the ability to stand on her own, Bai Kongque had already developed into a successful company, and Fu Guanyin was left with a mess.
